    Amen to that. That more fantasy gamers aren't up on the Kalevala, for example, is just a crying shame.

    I think most characters will be severely limited by having at most one RECovery worth of END to use after being Knocked Out.  They can easily Knock themselves Out again by just spending too much END and burning STUN as its replacement.
     
    3e and 4e Champions were different.  5e & 5er show the change.

    5e page 274 and 5er page 412 both show:

    Despite all the reasons Steve Rogers has to be bitter and cynical, he holds firm to his ideals. They continue to motivate him to do everything he can to make a difference.
     
    That's why we created superheroes. To inspire us to try to be better than we are.

    I agree that their desire to avoid magic is definitely a problem with Dr Strange, but hopefully the story and visuals will help get past that.
     
    Superhero films are doing well right now for several reasons.  First, a lot of the audience today grew up reading comics and going "this would make an amazing movie!"  And we were right.  Second, they're some of the only original content out there in movies.  Everything else seems like a remake and a sequel, whereas every new superhero film seems like something fresh and new so far.  Third, superhero movies allow spectacle and wonder in just about every genre imaginable.  Spy movies, gritty noir, wide open adventure, fantasy, sci fi, it doesn't really matter.  Superhero comics can embrace any genre and make it work, so the variety is enormous but still gives the opportunity for incredible effects and explosive, epic action.  Fourth, its just flat entertaining.
     
    For me, watching people line up to see tales of heroism, self sacrifice, a strong message of good vs evil, and people working to change their place by personal effort is a very positive thing for our culture.  And that's what superhero films are, at their best and at their core.  Just seeing all those kid wearing Captain America shield shirts and lining up by the hundreds and thousands to watch another film of heroic do-goodery warms hm heart.

    Honestly, when I hear discussions of contemporary theoretical physics, it sounds more like magic to me than science.
     
    I was thinking about that synopsis for Civil War, and it occurred to me that, as an attempt to establish an oversight for the Avengers, and the way the cinematic characters have been portrayed to date, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers might actually take the reverse positions to what they did in the comics. Tony always goes his own way and thinks he knows best -- even creating Ultron didn't change that. He doesn't respond well to authority and distrusts government. He famously boasted that he "privatized peace." Until recently Steve always worked within the system. He's a team player who respects the chain of command, and he doesn't believe anyone is above the law. If this "international incident" with the Avengers happened on his watch, I could see him being receptive to an overseeing authority.
